Freelance Designer; Proposal Analyst, IT Services Government Contractor
The EMAC program highly prepared me for the job I'm in, even though my position isn't necessarily a position within a normal EMAC scope. One of the main benefits of the program, in comparison to other university graphic design programs, is that RPI's program is technology- focused rather than traditional hand-sketching arts. It is unique that we receive a B.S. rather than a B.A. I think this opens a lot more opportunities; as technology becomes more prominent in society, more high-tech companies will be looking to hire more technology-oriented employees.

Experience
While I am doing freelance print graphic design (mostly
stationary/invites/business cards), I am employed full-time as a Proposal
Analyst for an IT Services Government Contractor company (DMI) in Bethesda, Maryland. Much of what I do uses the communication part
of the EMAC program: proposals are basically persuasion marketing materials. I
have rarely done the same thing twice. I
learn something new every single day... more like a lot of new things!
